Marriage is an old establishment, so
old in fact that it may be a little anachronistic. Federal courts are
supervening to let even homosexuals marry seriously adulterating the
meaning and paradigm for marriage. Further, registrations of births
and certifications have not changed much since the middle
ages-genetic data is lacking. Civil government is not very creative.
It is slow to change. That recalcitrance is often the virtue of
government-willy nilly capricious pulling the rug out from under the
citizens isn't usually desirable, yet revolutionaries do arise.
Homosexual promoting federal judges are
redefining the criterion of marriage everywhere. Legislatures have
replied with explicit laws restricting marriage and federal judges
consistently have shot those initiatives down. Michigan was the most
recent casualty of Federal legal supervention redistributing marriage
to include homosexuals. Legislatures need to be creative if they want
to recognize reproductive units of two human beings (usually just a
man and a woman). They need to pass laws in recognition of
reproductive units and genetic registry of births.
Marriage has broadened its base a
behavior too far perhaps to serve its initial purpose. Civil
marriages could continue to exist yet heterosexual couples could
register as reproductive units or reproductive unions and choose not
to be married. Some benefits could be given to the reproductive units
without discriminating against anyone. The problem with marriage is
that it had no modern scientific foundation and the institution was
abused with serial divorces and re-marriages. That establishment
became confusing for many and with the added confusion of homosexual
couples thrown in its becoming quite a mess.
Genetic identity of individuals has
become a science. It would be practical to genetically register all
live births and put that data on each individual birth certificate.
Reproductive unit parents and all biological parents would be
financially responsible for their offspring. Eventually as several
generations pass it wouldn't be possible for anyone to avoid
recognition as the actual biological parent. Computer searches by the
state would make that sort of identification nearly impossible to
avoid. Science and civil laws would have renormalized to a modern
context.
An added benefit of genetic birth
registries is that as genetic science evolves free mass screenings of
serious and avoidable health problems could be provided to people. A
little more bang for the tax dollar would help. I think it reasonable
to believe that as genetic records become a normal civil structure
for reproductive unions, out of wedlock, out of reproductive union
and every birth the reproductive unit or union will develop more
social respect. Services that are intended to go to reproductive
units can be directed there easily without discrimination. Any couple
that can biologically reproduce in theory would be eligible-they
would simply need to be able to pass on their genes into a new
composite human being.
What would occur to traditional
marriages? Well they are already being killed by Federal judges, yet
people would still be free to marry. Essentially there would be four
options regarding coupling. People could use the broad marriage
establishment. People could use the reproductive union establishment,
people could not marry and yet unavoidably have financial
responsibility for offspring found anywhere through genetic records
and fourthly people could have a religious marriage with or without
civil marriage or civil reproductive union. Out of the goodness of
their hearts people adopt foundling children. They donate the cost of
raising children freely, yet that should not relieve the biological
parent fro financial accountability.
If legislatures are simply too slow
and/or uncreative to modernize that isn't my fault. Society can just
rot and enjoy it.
